Alex and Ben who run the very cool travel mag Hejorama came to Copenhagen from Berlin in the last stretch of the summer to check out the city and to attend the electronic music festival called Strøm. Exploring cities and passing on tips is something they love to do and they are masters at finding fun things to do in a city, which of course included staying at our Downtown Hostel, joining our walking tour, and hanging out with us for our nightly free, communal dinner. Come with us for one of their days in Copenhagen!
“We like starting our days by finding a good coffee shop. That gives us the first goal of our daily exploration. That day in Copenhagen, we started at Kaffelkilden and used their free wifi to plan our following activities.”
“Since the weather was quite decent, we decided to head to the Amager beach (Amager strand), where clouds were waiting for us unfortunately. That didn't prevented us from having a nice morning swim.”
“We came back to the hostel, just in time to catch the 11am free walking tour. One of the fun part of the tour was the change of the guards at the royal castle.”
“Wandering around the streets of Copenhagen showed us some cool street arts. Actually a few areas of the city unexpectedly reminded us of Berlin.”
“Later, we met with our friend Anders who took us to a really cool bike festival in Norrebro.”
“Then we headed back to the hostel for a quick break before the night exploration part of the day. One the the coolest thing we've seen in a hostel, is the free dinner that you get at CPH Downtown. Arrive early to make sure you get a spot!”
“Those delicious pasta were perfect before the planned heavy drinking of the night.”
“Everyone is chilling making their plans for the night. For some we could even call it a food coma…”
“We love exploring cities after sunset, it can be a totally different world. As we say in France: "at night all the cats are grey". Or kinda red in our case…”
“First stop, Vibes Apothek, for some drinks and laughing gas ballons. Definitely one of our favorite drinking spots in town. Then our friend Kristel took us to to Drone where the night didn't really ended. But when we got out, it was a new day and so a different story…”
Thanks so much Ben and Alex for sharing your day with us and we can't wait to have you back at Copenhagen Downtown soon again!
